NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney are set to engage in an interactive educational event with students in Florida. The call will take place on October 16, beginning at 12 p.m. EDT, and will be broadcast live on NASA's Learn With NASA YouTube channel. Students from Sally Ride Elementary School in Orlando, along with the broader community, are invited to participate in this unique opportunity.
The purpose of the event is to provide an opportunity for students to ask questions about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) topics while astronauts are aboard the International Space Station. By doing so, the event aims to foster a deeper understanding of space exploration and inspire interest in STEM careers.
Media representatives interested in covering the event are required to RSVP by 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday, October 15, to Jenny Morgan at (407) 858-3100, or via email at jenny.morgan@ocps.net. The International Space Station has been continuously inhabited for over 25 years, serving as a platform for scientific research and technological advancements.
It plays a crucial role in expanding NASA's knowledge of human spaceflight, encouraging commercial ventures in low Earth orbit, and advancing long-duration missions towards lunar and Martian exploration as part of the Artemis program.
